Localized Language App Collaborations

Duolingo Partners with FRED & FARID for Chinese Content

— September 18, 2024 — Marketing
Duolingo has partnered with FRED & FARID Shanghai to oversee its social media strategy and community management in China. This appointment "follows a competitive pitch and reflects Duolingo's goal to strengthen its presence in the Chinese market, particularly on platforms such as Douyin and RED."

To achieve this, FRED & FARID will develop localized content that merges Duolingo's playful tone with culturally relevant trends. Consequently, this approach aims to engage Chinese audiences effectively. The agency has assembled a specialized team from its social media and influence division to implement a tailored strategy, particularly focusing on Douyin.

Furthermore, FRED & FARID’s strategy will "integrate newsjacking, trending topics, and key cultural moments in China to create content that remains witty, humorous, and engaging; central to this effort is the promotion of Duolingo's iconic characters, Duo and Lily," ensuring that the app's distinctive playful learning experience is effectively conveyed to the local audience.
